You Are Not
Our love was kept in secret
But now that you're gone, I see
There is no one else to keep it
with me
How many inside jokes
Will go untold
Cause there's no one left
To tell them to anymore?
How many movies go unseen
Cause we said we'd see them together?
Why could we not weather the storm?
I tried to be the perfect lover
I tried to be the perfect friend
You searched the room for any other
Severed ties I tried to mend
Let's not pretend there's still a love here
Or anything worth saving
Our walls tumble, they crumble, I fear
Like this face I am braving
That storm we could not weather
Came for us both in the end
You are not my lover
You are not my friend
